When people say they are sub 10, 20, 30, does that mean they are at that number, below, or what?

I just wanted to ask, how many people (which people) know full ZBLL (all 504 cases)? Sorry if it was already answered, I made only a brief search.

Iirc, it was around 4-5 people, all of which have quit cubing. Rob Yau is in the process of learning full ZBLL atm however.

The word sub comes from Latin meaning below. So there you go.

I've been cubing for what will be 3 years in January. Lately I've lost the love for it that I used to have. What are some good things to learn that might reawaken my interest in cubing? My favorite events (in order) are: 3x3, Pyra, 4x4, and 3BLD. The only thing I think I'm any good at is 3x3.

Have you considered learning something like Petrus or Roux, or a different method? It could be fun.

Try Roux and bigBLD. Oh, and 1x1.

Learning 3-style for BLD is very rewarding IMO. Try an event you've never practiced seriously before. I always find that fun because you improve very quickly at first.

My recent experience with Square-1 definitely agrees with this advice.

Hello,
Does a QJ timer v2 fit a mini mat from speed stacks?
Also what is ZBLL?
Thanks in advance

If your LL edges are oriented, ZBLL solves the rest of the last layer in one alg.

Does anyone use the OLL R U R D R' U' R D' R2 (chameleon, eyes on the back)? I discovered it while while learning a WV case and I have not seen it anywhere else.
I find it to be less "clumsy" than the standard r U R' U' r' F R F', especially with OH.

 

[scottishcuber]

I do. It's a little easier to predict PLL with r U R' U' r' F R F' though.

Stickers

What are sticker shades similar to the V-Cube ones on thecubespecialists.com?
I really like the stickers of my V-Cube 3 Black and would want to get similar ones for my Zhanchi.

Thanks!

Sub-15 recommended breakdown

Hi everyone,

What is a general orientation for a sub-15 breakdown?
How fast should the LL be?

Thanks!!!

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...bing-training-that-yields-systematic-progress

Cross: 1.8 secs
F2L: 7.5 secs
OLL: 2.475 secs
PLL: 3.225

LL combined: 5.7 secs

Thanks! That is very helpful . . .:tu
Looks like I need to finish learning full OLL and execute it quickly.
F2l + Cross also needs a bit of improvement

EDIT: Good, this is moved here

I use l U R' D R U' R' D' x (the second half of the E perm). But I do use r U R' U' r' F R F' for the COLL. I just find it easier to do, and also I can see the B face of PLL before the rotation (I can't recog from just 2 sides most of the time).

I do. It's a little easier to predict PLL with r U R' U' r' F R F' though.

They both do the exact same thing. Try doing the inverse of the normal OLL followed by that alg ([F R' F r U R U' r'] y [R U R D R' U' R D' R2]). Same with my alg and the mirror of the normal OLL.

best coll algs?

right hand ones that flow smoothly?

also what are the split for sub 10? 1-5-2-2?

 

[Nilsibert]

http://boca.bee.pl/index.php?l=pl has a ton.


How is it that I get a new guhong and it's pretty loud and clicky? The first one I have is pretty quiet and really smooth. Is it normal that there are these differences between cubes or is it just that my first one probably felt the same at the beginning, and it's just about breaking in?

I'd say 1.2-5.5-1.6-1.6
